jednostavno cinjenica je da cijena svakog proizvedenog procesora se prakticki mjeri u centima, a prodaju se za par stotina dolara pa navise i unaprijedenje tvornice(a) u vrijednosti od par milijardi dolara se u relativno kratkom roku otplati. naravno imaju oni i druge troskove osim toga, al o tom ne pricamo trenutno.

Nisam zlopamtilo nego sam slucajno sjetio ove teme kad sam naisao na ovaj tekst:

Even when fabbed on 300 mm wafers AMD can only place approximately 200 complete dies per wafer, and using the Murphy Model Yield, only about 60 good dies are gathered per wafer. Consider that each wafer costs about $3000 to $5000 to finish, and not counting packaging costs, each raw die is worth between $50 and $83. Once you consider finishing costs and company overhead, it is no wonder that AMD’s margins are pretty low. Not all is lost though, as AMD is able to do some things to recover bad dies, as well as utilize partially defective dies as their triple core options.
